Alright, got my ticket for Roger Waters tonight
Ticketmaster opened up some seats this morning after reporting sold out yesterday. I'm on the lower level, side stage (but right next to it). The last tickets I ever bought that said "limited view" were some of the best seats I have ever gotten. Total cost - 120. I'll be riding the Dart light rail to the arena, so no parking costs. I'm really excited!

3. Thanks, I think he's about to hit the west coast
after leaving here. Has he been to Seattle yet? His tour is a year long, and will be going to South America and then Europe.

7. Oh, guys, you would just not believe
I was on the lower level, right up against "the wall". At the first of the concert, the airplane flew right over us and crashed into the wall at our side. The cheoreography was just fabulous, and the work and effort into it all had to be just amazing. I was extremely moved, I was at Roger's left side on the level right next to the stage, and when he sang "Bring the Boys Back Home" I was the only one standing in our section, raising my fist, and shouting at the top of my lungs. Roger saw me, and gave me a fist back. It was awesome! I just got to work right now, a little tired, but my ears are still ringing and I'm still incredibly moved by what I saw last night.

At the very end, Roger stated how he composed the Wall because of an alienation with the audience. He assured us he didn't feel that way anymore, and that he felt he was a part of us. He was friendly and personable throughout the show (except when he was with the surrogate band. He played the part beautifully). He's going to the west coast now - if you live there, and are a fan, GO SEE IT! It will definitely move you!!

13. That's how I got mine
Just a few hours before the show. I was close enough to toss a football to Roger.
